890 February 2, 2023 Mountain Palm Springs

I was able to walk today on the trails at the Desert Museum.  It was 50 degrees this morning and the windmills were perfectly still…no wind!

The Spirit Of The Desert sculpture welcomes travelers to the museum.

Purple Cactus Sculpture.

I took the road to its end before turning back.

We drove on S3 through the small town of Ocotillo. 

We drove through fields of wind turbines.  We stopped to watch these cranes, hopeful that we might see them move this tremendous blade but that didn’t happen while we were there.

We passed through a Border Patrol Checkpoint and then we entered Anza-Borrego State Park.

We arrived at Mountain Palm Springs Campground before noon. 

Tim took a rather rigorous hike into the ravine.

I did a gentle hike to the palms.

We spent the afternoon sitting outside.  It was a gorgeous day and we were soaking up some rays!

I love that we can camp in this remote part of the desert in the RV.  We had to travel about a mile on a sandy road but we have the best site.

Grilled salmon and beet salad for dinner followed by a campfire.  Life is certainly good!
